Hello, i posted on the temp forum about i need full suspension for my GT. What's the better type to go for coilover or just a descent set of adjustables ? Im going to be using the car as a weekend driver and track days here and there. Thanks Leigh

if its only a weekend and a few trackdays you don't need anymore than standard set up...
much more fun and forgiving and no worries about setting up cambers and ride height's.......
just start her up and play
std setups abit gay flippy floppy on the track, for that id say koni yellows all round
Koni's were my first step from standard suspension to aftermarket on the 5. They felt so much more positive, but still with the same 5 levels of feedback as to when they let go. They were like standard suspension, only better.
When you start to go into coilovers etc, you can get ultimately more grip but at the expense of 'carefree' handling. You never know when it's going to snap away and bite you in the bum.
Think long and hard before you spend money on it really. IT's easy to get it wrong, and end up with car you'll be nervous of 85% of the time.
Cheers for the replies, looks like the Konis will be good enough for me
Koni FTW, every time
They'll give an improvement (read firm) over the o.e donut, but then the o.e donut, when new, is perfectly fine.
If you're comparing a new poly donut to a 15+ year old wear & tear o.e item, it's a no brainer as to which one is gonna be the better to have in situ.
If you've already got new ones to fit, I personally wouldn't bother paying out again for the poly jobs.
